DBpedia+Virtuoso EC2 AMI

All,

Quick FYI.

What is Virtuoso+DBpedia AMI for EC2?
An pre-installed and fully tuned edition of Virtuoso that includes a 
fully configured DBpedia instance on Amazon's EC2 Cloud platform.

Benefits?
Generally, it provides a no hassles mechanism for instantiating 
personal, organization, or service specific instances of DBpedia within 
approximately 1.5 hours as opposed to a lengthy rebuild from RDF source 
data that takes between 8 - 22 hours depending on machine hardware 
configuration and host operating system resources.

 From a Web Entrepreneur perspective it offers all of the generic 
benefits of a Virtuoso AMI on EC2 plus the following:

1. Instant bootstrap of a dense Lookup Hub for Linked Data Web oriented 
solutions
2. No exposure to any of the complexities and nuances associated with 
deployment of de-referencable URIs (you have a local DBpedia replica)
3. Predictable performance and scalability due localization of query 
processing (you aren't sharing the public DBpedia server with the rest 
of the world)

Features:
1. DBpedia public instance functionality replica (re. RDF and (X)HTML 
resource description representations & SPARQL endpoint)
2. Local URI de-referencing (so no contention with public endpoint) and 
part of the Linked Data Deployment
3. Fully tuned Virtuoso instance for DBpedia data set hosting

How Do I use it?

Here are a few live examples of DBpedia resource URIs deployed and 
de-referencable via one of my EC2 based personal data spaces:
